2020 Dem Campaigns Spent Big on Uber, Lyft While Backing Rideshare Boycott
Democratic presidential candidates spent hundreds of dollars on Uber and Lyft even as they supported a boycott of the ride-hailing services back in May.
Sen. Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro all jumped to support the May 8 protest against the two companies as part of an effort to improve the drivers’ pay and job security.
“I’m standing in solidarity with [Rideshare Drivers United] and all those striking across the country today for livable wages, more job security, and regulated fares,” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., wrote on Twitter.
Carpe Donktum launched a viral meme page dedicated to cataloguing the top political memes from the past few years, and Facebook blocked it mere hours later.
